The big fat lie: what we should really know about saturated fat

For decades, we were told that saturated fat was the villain in our diet. Butter, lard and high-fat animal products were seen as precursors to heart disease. But what if everything we thought we knew about fat was based on shaky science?

A turning point in fat science

In 2010, Dr Ronald M. Krauss, one of the leading nutrition experts in the USA, shook the foundations of nutritional science. After a comprehensive review of the scientific literature, he came to a surprising conclusion: there is no robust evidence that saturated fat causes heart disease. A later Harvard-Cambridge study confirmed this finding.

The origin of the fat myth

It all began in the 1950s with one man: Ancel Keys. His ‘Seven Countries Study’ had a lasting impact on our dietary guidelines. However, his research had a crucial catch: he specifically selected only those countries that supported his theory. He simply left out countries such as France or Switzerland, where people lived healthy lives despite eating a high-fat diet.

What nature teaches us

History has many examples that disprove Keys' theory:

The Maasai in Kenya: subsist mainly on meat, milk and blood - without heart problems

The Inuit in the Arctic: 80% of their diet consists of fat - they were perfectly healthy

Indian railway workers: those who ate more fat lived on average 12 years longer

The real culprit?

When we started to avoid fat, we replaced it with carbohydrates. Muesli instead of fried eggs, pasta instead of meat and highly processed vegetable oils. The result? Rising rates of obesity and diabetes. Recent research suggests that excessive carbohydrate consumption - even from ‘healthy’ wholemeal products - may be more harmful than a high-fat diet.

What does this mean for us?

It's time to rethink our fear of saturated fat. A balanced diet doesn't have to be low in fat. Perhaps we should be more concerned about our sugar and carbohydrate intake instead.

Conclusion

The saturated fat story is a prime example of how single influential voices can dominate the scientific debate for decades. It reminds us that we should always question even seemingly certain scientific ‘truths’.

The power of integration: How intellect and intuition lead to wisdom

In our modern world, we often tend to favour either our intellect or our intuition. But what if we could combine the two? Mel Schwartz argues in his insightful article that it is precisely this integration that is the key to true wisdom.

Thinker vs. feeler

Many of us tend to go through life as either a ‘thinker’ or a ‘feeler’. A simple test: Do you tend to start your sentences with ‘I think...’ or ‘I feel...’? The answer reveals which type you tend to be.

The strengths of both sides

Intuition: An immediate form of knowledge, independent of conscious analysis.
Intellect: Based on logical thinking and rational enquiry.
Both have their advantages, but relying solely on one side can limit us.

The path to wisdom

Schwartz emphasises that true wisdom comes when we unite intellect and intuition. This integration allows us to:

• Communicate more holistically
• Have better relationships, especially between the sexes
• Better anticipate the unintended consequences of our actions

Conclusion

Instead of limiting ourselves to one side, we should strive to cultivate both our thinking and our feeling. Only then can we realise the full spectrum of our human potential and achieve true wisdom.

How do you balance your thinking and feeling in everyday life?

Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals
 https://i.nostr.build/eB85EFdyAIOQzeyU.png
HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.

https://github.com/bitvora/haven

It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:

 - Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see

 - Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.

 - Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust

 - Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.

It also has many SMART relay features, including:

 - It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
 - It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
 - It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soon™)
 - It blastr's your notes to other relays

Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.

It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.

You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:

 - wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/private

I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!

To get started, follow the instructions in the README here:

Consciousness is complicated and simple at the same time, depending on your perspective.


So if I understand this correctly, Lebanon was flooded with "tweaked" pagers, walkietalkies, smartphones and it is not fundamentally the case that the Mossad is able to trigger an explosion of the batteries with certain frequencies. Let's see what other information leaks out in the coming days and weeks.


Has anyone heard that iPhones are now also exploding in Lebanon or that the Mossad is triggering an explosion? I'm interested in the technical aspect. Is the operating system decisive, or can the Mossad remotely control certain chips independently of the smartphone's operating system?

Welcome to the club. ⚡


Man is an imperfect creation. He is not a truly unique cosmic being whose intelligence and ability to act reflect the energies of the source of life itself. On the contrary, man as we know him is more like an automaton.

His thoughts, feelings and actions are little more than mechanical reactions to external and internal stimuli. In him and around him, everything happens without the participation of his own authentic consciousness.

But man is unaware of this fact because the omnipresent influence of culture and education imbues him with the illusion of an autonomous conscious self.

Modern man has no idea how self-deceptive a life lived in only one part of himself can be. The head, the emotions and the body each have their own perceptions and actions, and each can live a simulacrum of human life.

In short, man is asleep. There is no authentic ‘I am’ in his presence, only an egoism that masquerades as the authentic self and whose machinations poorly mimic the normal human functions of thinking, feeling and willing.

Many factors reinforce this sleep. Each of the reactions that take place in one's own presence is accompanied by a deceptive sense of self - the human being is many selves, each of which imagines itself to be the whole and each of which is buffered from the perception of the others.

Each of these many ‘I's represents a process by which the subtle energy of consciousness is absorbed and dissipated, a process Gurdjieff called “identification”. Man identifies himself - that is, he wastes his conscious energy - with every passing thought, impulse and sensation.

This state manifests itself in a constant self-deception and an uninterrupted succession of egoistic emotions such as anger, self-pity, sentimentality and fear, which are so painful that man constantly tries to alleviate this state by the endless pursuit of social recognition, sensual pleasure or the vague and unattainable goal of ‘happiness’.

- Jacob Needleman


You can either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hq9mgjg8

If you don't know where your posts are, you might as well just stay in the centralized Twitter. You either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you. Amethyst offers several lists of relays for our users. We are going to go one by one to help clarify what they are and which options are best for each one.

## Public Home/Outbox Relays

Home relays store all YOUR content: all your posts, likes, replies, lists, etc. It's your home. Amethyst will send your posts here first. Your followers will use these relays to get new posts from you. So, if you don't have anything there, **they will not receive your updates**.

Home relays must allow queries from anyone, ideally without the need to authenticate. They can limit writes to paid users without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays. More than that will only make your followers waste their mobile data getting your posts. Keep it simple. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of all your content in a place no one can delete. Go to [relay.tools](https://relay.tools/) and never be censored again.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: paid options like http://nostr.wine are great

Do not include relays that block users from seeing posts in this list. If you do, no one will see your posts.

## Public Inbox Relays

This relay type receives all replies, comments, likes, and zaps to your posts. If you are not getting notifications or you don't see replies from your friends, it is likely because you don't have the right setup here. If you are getting too much spam in your replies, it's probably because your inbox relays are not protecting you enough. Paid relays can filter inbox spam out.

Inbox relays must allow anyone to write into them. It's the opposite of the outbox relay. They can limit who can download the posts to their paid subscribers without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays as well. Again, keep it small. More than that will just make you spend more of your data plan downloading the same notifications from all these different servers. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of your notifications, invites, cashu tokens and zaps.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: go to [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch/relays/find) and find relays in your country

Terrible options include:
- nostr.wine should not be here.
- filter.nostr.wine should not be here.
- inbox.nostr.wine should not be here.

## DM Inbox Relays

These are the relays used to receive DMs and private content. Others will use these relays to send DMs to you. **If you don't have it setup, you will miss DMs**. DM Inbox relays should accept any message from anyone, but only allow you to download them.

Generally speaking, you only need 3 for reliability. One of them should be a personal relay to make sure you have a copy of all your messages. The others can be open if you want push notifications or closed if you want full privacy.

Good options are:
- inbox.nostr.wine and auth.nostr1.com: anyone can send messages and only you can download. Not even our push notification server has access to them to notify you.
- a personal relay to make sure no one can censor you. Advanced settings on personal relays can also store your DMs privately. Talk to your relay operator for more details.
- a hidden, but public relay if you want DM notifications from our servers.

Make sure to add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.

## Private Home Relays

Private Relays are for things no one should see, like your drafts, lists, app settings, bookmarks etc. Ideally, these relays are either local or require authentication before posting AND downloading each user\'s content. There are no dedicated relays for this category yet, so I would use a local relay like Citrine on Android and a personal relay on relay.tools

## Search relays:

This is the list of relays to use on Amethyst's search and user tagging with @. **Tagging and searching will not work if there is nothing here.**. This option requires NIP-50 compliance from each relay. Hit the Default button to use all available options on existence today:
- nostr.wine
- relay.nostr.band
- relay.noswhere.com

## Local Relays:

This is your local storage. Everything will load faster if it comes from this relay. You should install Citrine on Android and write ws://localhost:4869 in this option.

## General Relays:

This section contains the default relays used to download content from your follows. Notice how you can activate and deactivate the Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat (public chats), and Global options in each.

Keep 5-6 large relays on this list and activate them for as many categories (Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat, and Global) as possible.

Amethyst will provide additional recommendations to this list from your follows with information on which of your follows might need the additional relay in your list. Add them if you feel like you are missing their posts or if it is just taking too long to load them.

## Final Considerations

Remember, relays can see what your Nostr client is requesting and downloading at all times. They can track what you see and see what you like. They can sell that information to the highest bidder, they can delete your content or content that a sponsor asked them to delete (like a negative review for instance) and they can censor you in any way they see fit. Before using any random free relay out there, make sure you trust its operator and you know its terms of service and privacy policies.

One of my favorite cards comes from the Keymaster Tarot and is called "The Judgment''. I could probably write a lot about why, but I'll just let it work.👁🗨

In a world full of uncertainty and change, many people are looking for answers and spiritual guidance. One fascinating perspective on this search is offered by Edgar Cayce, the famous American psychic whose visions and predictions are still debated today. In this article, we take a look at Cayce's interpretation of the ‘second coming of Christ’ and what it might mean for our modern world.

Cayce, often referred to as the ‘sleeping prophet’, was known for his far-reaching prophecies that went far beyond religious themes. One of his most remarkable visions concerned the lost continent of Atlantis. Cayce claimed that Atlantis was a highly developed civilisation that perished thousands of years ago. He prophesied that remains of this culture would one day be rediscovered, which could revolutionise our understanding of human history.

#### Closely linked to his Atlantis visions was Cayce's prediction about the discovery of the Hall of Records. This mysterious place, which Cayce believed to be under the Great Sphinx of Giza, was said to contain comprehensive records of human history and spiritual knowledge. According to Cayce, the discovery of this hall would lead to a deeper understanding of our spiritual heritage and could pave the way for the spiritual renewal he predicted.\
\
**A new view of the second coming**

Unlike traditional Christian teachings, Cayce saw the second coming of Christ not as a physical event, but as a spiritual awakening. This profound transformation of human consciousness, according to Cayce, would take place in the 21st century, a time of global upheaval and chaos.

#### **The awakening of Christ consciousness**

#### Cayce spoke of a ‘Christ Consciousness’ - a state of deep love, compassion and unity that would unite people of all faiths and backgrounds. This spiritual awakening transcends religious boundaries and unites humanity in a common awakening.\
\
**A new world order of unity**

With this spiritual transformation, Cayce foresaw the emergence of a new world order based on co-operation, equality and an understanding of our interconnectedness. Cayce describes this vision of a renewed earth, as mentioned in the Book of Revelation, as a birthing process - the emergence of a new paradigm rooted in spiritual wisdom and deep reverence for all life.

#### **The path to personal transformation**

Cayce emphasised that this transformation takes place on both a personal and global level. Each individual goes through a unique process of spiritual growth. This inner journey involves shedding old thought patterns and embracing a new way of being based on unity, compassion and spiritual understanding.

#### **The importance of the individual**

Interestingly, Cayce believed that the timing and manifestation of this second coming depended on the collective decisions and actions of humanity. He encouraged people to focus on their own spiritual preparation and to be open to inner guidance and intuition.

#### **A call to action**

#### Cayce's message is clear: the second coming of Christ is not a passive expectation, but an active spiritual practice. He calls us to submit to Christ's guidance and will with the same diligence with which we seek answers.\
\
**Conclusion**

Edgar Cayce's vision of the second coming of Christ offers an inspiring perspective on spiritual growth and global transformation. It encourages us to think beyond traditional religious concepts and recognise our own divine nature. In a time of great challenge and change, this vision can serve as a source of hope and inspiration, spurring us on to personal growth and collective progress.

A spiritual awakening according to Edgar Cayce


How to recognize a problematic relay?🤔


We make countless decisions in our everyday lives - from our choice of breakfast to complex professional strategies. But how free are these decisions really? The latest research suggests that many of our actions are controlled by an unconscious ‘autopilot’ that is deeply rooted in our brain.

**Humans as creatures of habit**

Imagine you are driving to work. How many times have you driven ‘automatically’ without consciously remembering every turn? This phenomenon is a perfect example of our mental autopilot. It helps us to complete everyday tasks efficiently without having to consciously make every decision.

But this autopilot doesn't just control our routine actions. Studies show that many of our decisions are made before we are even aware of them. A fascinating study by the University of New South Wales was able to predict decisions up to 11 seconds before the subjects were aware of them!

**The illusion of control**

These findings challenge our understanding of free will. We often rationalise our actions retrospectively in order to bring them into line with our self-image. We create retrospective reasons for our behaviour that match our personal narrative.

**The path to greater awareness**

Does this mean that we are helplessly at the mercy of our autopilot? Not at all! Here's the good news: through targeted practice, we can expand our awareness and gain more control over our decisions.

Methods such as meditation and self-reflection have proven to be effective tools for overcoming our ‘autopilot’. People who regularly meditate or practise self-reflection often show greater cognitive flexibility and are able to consciously override automatic reactions.

**Freedom as a spectrum**

Instead of viewing free will as an all-or-nothing phenomenon, we can understand it as a spectrum. The more pronounced our awareness, the more degrees of freedom we have in our decisions. People with a high level of self-reflection often act more unpredictably and creatively, as they are less controlled by automatic behaviour patterns.

**The path to conscious decision-making**

So what can we do to strengthen our free will? Here are some approaches:

- Practise meditation or mindfulness regularly
- Consciously reflect on your decisions and actions
- Question your automatic reactions
- Cultivate emotional intelligence
- Remain open to new experiences and perspectives

**Conclusion**

Our behaviour may be more controlled by unconscious processes than we would like to believe. But with conscious practice, we can strengthen our ‘free will’ and become more active shapers of our lives. The journey to greater awareness is not only a path to greater self-determination, but also to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Remember: every moment of self-reflection is a step away from autopilot and towards a more conscious, self-determined existence.

I took your advice and built a gif nostr companion app:
https://gifbuddy.lol/

You can download the PWA to your home screen, search for your gif, copy the address and paste it into your client

On the back end, for every gif that gets copied/clicked, an API request is made to upload to  nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 by  nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w

From there a nip94 request is done so that the content can be accessed by any client in the future

Now, anyone who searches for gifs using this tool is also helping to build the gif repository for nip94 and adding fallback urls to nostr.build

And all they did was click to copy #gifs

Nostr and the nostrich: A Jungian analysis of digital emancipation

In the collective unconscious of the digital world, the nostrich represents the archetype of the freedom seeker and independent person. It embodies the deep, archetypal longing for unrestricted self-expression and connectedness that is free from external control and censorship.

Like the ostrich from which it derives its name, the nostrich has both feet firmly on the ground of decentralised reality. But unlike the ostrich, which literally buries its head in the sand, the nostrich proudly raises its head to the heights of digital freedom. Its purple colouring symbolises the transformation of the ordinary Internet into something royal and sublime.

The nostrich carries within it the tension between the shadow of centralisation and the light of decentralisation. It has shed the persona of conventional social media and strives for individuation in the realm of uncensored communication. In doing so, he integrates the anima/animus of technological innovation with the self of personal sovereignty.

In the hero's journey, the nostrich represents the moment of rejection of the familiar call and the conscious decision to cross the threshold into a new, unknown world. He is the mentor and at the same time the hero who accompanies others on their path to digital emancipation.

The encounter with the nostrich archetype challenges the individual to confront their own shadows of dependency and conformity. He calls for the mask of the censored persona to be removed and the authentic self to be revealed in a space of absolute freedom.

The nostrich also embodies the trickster archetype, challenging the established structures of centralised power through creativity and unpredictability. He dances on the border between the orderly world of regulated communication and the chaos of unbridled expression of opinion.


Thanks! The idea for the tarots came from me and the generative image AI supported me. 😉

‘The Nostrich’ symbolises freedom, decentralisation and the power of open communication. The ostrich, known for not being able to fly, takes on a new, magical quality here thanks to its special colouring - similar to how Nostr opens up new possibilities for the Internet.

This card stands for the courage to break new ground and break away from centralised structures. It represents the ability to forge connections across traditional boundaries and build a community based on freedom and self-determination.

In a positive sense, it suggests a spirit of innovation, independence and the ability to share and receive information freely. In a negative sense, it could warn against excessive idealism or the danger of isolating oneself too much from established systems.

‘The Nostrich’ encourages the questioner to explore the possibilities of free, decentralised communication and to play an active role in shaping a more open digital future.


https://m.primal.net/KOUa.png

‘The Maximalist’ stands for unshakeable faith, visionary thinking and the willingness to bet everything on an idea. It symbolises the conviction that Bitcoin is the future of money and will replace all other currencies.

This card can indicate a phase in which you are completely convinced of an idea or concept and are prepared to stand up for it, regardless of the opinions of others. However, it also warns of possible narrow-mindedness and the danger of overlooking other perspectives.

In a positive sense, it represents leadership, innovation and the courage to swim against the tide. In a negative sense, it can indicate fanaticism, inflexibility and the inability to compromise.


Centralised platforms always prove to be vulnerable to government intervention and control. Their concentrated structure offers governments and authorities easy points of attack to collect data, censor content or stop the service altogether.

Decentralised platforms and protocols such as Nostr, on the other hand, are robust pillars of digital freedom. Thanks to their distributed architecture and cryptographic security, they are largely resistant to manipulation and censorship. They offer no central point of control or corruption.

These decentralised systems allow users to manage their own data and communicate freely without being dependent on individual companies or government intervention. They therefore promote freedom of expression, data protection and digital self-determination in a way that centralised platforms cannot, in principle.

While centralised services always represent a potential bottleneck for free communication, decentralised networks form a resilient backbone for an open and free digital society.


Inspiring!


The wisdom of the 33rd degree encompasses a broad spectrum of knowledge, from the symbolism of ancient cultures to spiritual alchemy, number mysticism and esoteric interpretations of religious texts.

Interestingly, this knowledge is not just about abstract concepts. The 33rd degree Freemasons see it as a tool for personal and spiritual development. It is a way to understand the hidden connections in life and to realise one's full potential.

However, it's only one of many "secret teachings" that are now available to everyone thanks to the Internet. 😉

Visualise X as a turbulent sea of confrontation, where waves of opinions crash against each other and the storm of conflict rages. But behold, in your mind's eye, Nostr blossoms as a garden of harmony and growth. Here the seeds of your thoughts flourish in fertile soil, nourished by the sun of creativity and the gentle rain of co-operation.

In this garden, you not only cultivate your own ideas, but also nurture the tender shoots of community. Each interaction is like a carefully placed flower that contributes to the beauty of the whole. And lo and behold, a magical stream flows in this garden - the zaps, glittering drops of appreciation and value.

These zaps are like the nectar of flowers, attracting the busy bees of creativity. They reward those who produce truly nourishing fruits of the spirit. With every Zap you give or receive, you strengthen the roots of this lush garden and allow new ideas to blossom.

While X threatens to pull you into its vortex of negativity, Nostr invites you to dwell in its peaceful atmosphere, to grow and be rewarded for your contributions. Here, every thought is valuable, every interaction meaningful, every zap a spark of encouragement.

Recognise the power of your choice: do you want to exhaust yourself on the battlefield or blossom and thrive in the garden? Your spirit has the power to create this reality. Choose wisely and cultivate the garden of your digital life wisely, where your efforts will not only bear fruit, but also be appreciated and rewarded.

At a time of rapid technological progress and social change, many of us feel overwhelmed and disorientated. But what if the answers to our most pressing questions are not to be found in the outside world, but within ourselves? Let's explore together some timeless wisdom that can help us find stability and meaning in this complex world.

**The challenge of our time**\
We are living in an era of upheaval. Traditional values are being questioned, while scientific findings are constantly expanding our world view. This dynamic creates uncertainty, but also opportunities for personal growth.

**The key lies within ourselves**\
It is tempting to blame others for our problems or to hope for a saviour. But the real solution starts with each and every one of us. Self-discipline and inner peace are more powerful than material goods or intellectual brilliance.

**Beyond science and religion**\
Neither science nor religion alone can provide all the answers. Instead, we should take a holistic approach that combines rational thinking with spiritual insight.

**The power of positive thinking**\
Our thoughts shape our reality. By consciously cultivating positive ways of thinking and avoiding mental ‘pollution’, we can significantly improve our emotional and mental health.

**Challenges as opportunties**\
Instead of viewing difficulties as disasters, we can see them as learning opportunities. Every experience, whether positive or negative, offers potential for personal growth.

**The importance of gratitude**\
In a world that is constantly striving for more, true happiness often lies in appreciating what we already have. Gratitude can fundamentally change our perspective.

**Active instead of reactive**\
Instead of losing ourselves in criticism or withdrawal, we should actively work on solutions. Each of us has the power to bring about positive change in our environment.

**Finding a balance**\
It's about finding a healthy balance between personal development and social engagement. By working on ourselves, we can also have a positive impact on our environment.

**The path to inner peace**\
Meditation, inspirational reading and creative activities can help us find inner peace. This practice allows us to develop a stable inner anchor in the midst of external chaos.

**Find a balance between ambition and aspiration**\
We should not react to difficult situations with negativity, but instead look for lessons and truths. He advises a balance between ambition and aspiration in order to lead a fulfilling life - away from pure selfishness and towards the pursuit of personal growth and wisdom.

**Find fulfilment in service to the greater good**\
Ultimately, the key to happiness and inner peace lies in changing our habits of thought and acting with kindness, benevolence and dedication to service. Only then can we internalise the realisation that nothing material lasts and instead fulfil our higher purpose.

**Conclusion: A call to action**\
In a world full of challenges, it is up to each and every one of us to walk the path to inner peace and personal growth. By reflecting on our inner values, cultivating positive mindsets and actively working towards solutions, we can not only enrich our own lives, but also make a positive contribution to society.\

The forgotten art of biphasic sleep in the Middle Ages: worth rediscovering?

https://m.primal.net/JxTB.png

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, staying awake for an hour and then falling asleep again. Sounds strange? For our medieval ancestors, this was completely normal - and possibly even beneficial!

An astonishing discovery

Historian Roger Ekirch came across an interesting phenomenon during his research: in the Middle Ages and into the early modern period, people practised what is known as "biphasic sleep". They went to bed early, woke up after a few hours and used the nightly waking phase before falling into a "second sleep".

Widespread and deeply rooted

Ekirch found evidence of this sleeping habit in numerous historical sources - from court records to literature and medical texts. And not just in England, but worldwide! From France to Brazil, from Oman to Australia - biphasic sleep seemed to have been the predominant way of sleeping.

The nightly "watch" and its advantages

The time between the two sleep phases, often referred to as "the watch", offered numerous advantages:

1. productivity: people used this time to do chores, crafts or even creative projects.

2. mental clarity: the nightly rest provided ideal conditions for prayer, meditation and deep reflection.

3. social bonding: It was a time for conversation and socialising, which strengthened social cohesion.

4. enhanced intimacy: For couples, this time provided an opportunity for undisturbed intimacy.

5. natural rhythm: biphasic sleep seems to be more in tune with our natural circadian rhythm.

Why did biphasic sleep disappear?

With the industrial revolution and the spread of artificial lighting, our sleeping habits changed dramatically. Longer "days" led to later bedtimes, while wake-up times remained the same. Sleep was compressed and the night waking phase gradually disappeared.

Worth a revival?

Recent studies suggest that biphasic sleep may be more natural and healthier for us. Some benefits that modern researchers discuss are:

- Improved sleep quality
- Increased alertness during the day
- Possible improvement in cognitive function
- Potential relief from sleep disorders
- The nocturnal waking phase may have served as a natural break to relieve stress and calm the mind.

The history of biphasic sleep is a reminder of how much our lifestyles are influenced by cultural and technological factors.

Breaking the invisible chains of adulthood: A path to inner freedom

https://m.primal.net/Jtdn.png

In the hectic pace of modern life, we often lose sight of what's important. In his writings, renowned philosopher Manly P. Hall offers us a fascinating insight into the challenges of growing up and the spiritual journey that comes with it.

The awkward first steps into adulthood

Imagine walking into a room full of complicated machines you've never seen before. This is exactly what adulthood feels like for many of us. We acquire new skills and responsibilities, but as Hall puts it, these are "like new machinery or something that is not being used well" - they cause us problems because we haven't yet learnt how to use them effectively.

The restless consciousness

In this new world of adulthood, our consciousness often feels out of place. Hall describes it as "an almost lost soul" trying to find its way in this new reality. Do you recognise this feeling? It's as if a part of us knows we're meant for more, but we can't quite define what that "more" might be.

The loss of childhood dreams

Do you remember the boundless dreams of your childhood? Hall reminds us how these often get lost in the problems of adulthood. We become so consumed by the day-to-day challenges - career, finances, relationships - that we forget our "divine part," that aspect of our being that transcends the material.

The shadow of material life

With maturity often comes financial worries that can weigh on our minds. Hall warns that if we are not careful, these problems can overshadow our entire being. We begin to perceive these challenges as the only reality and forget that we were born for more than just problems.

Life: More than a struggle in the dark

Hall describes what many call "life" as a "battle of shadows in the dark". This powerful metaphor invites us to pause and ask: Is this all life has to offer? Or is there a deeper, richer reality that we are overlooking?

The path back to our true self

Hall's words are not only a description of our reality, but also an invitation to change. Here are some steps we can take to reconnect with our deeper selves:

1. Cultivate moments of silence: Take time each day for meditation or quiet reflection.

2. Rediscover the childlike perspective: Recall your childhood dreams and consider how you can integrate them into your adult life.

3. Putting material concerns in perspective: While financial responsibility is important, remind yourself that you are more than your material circumstances.

4. Develop a spiritual practice: Whether through religion, philosophy or nature connection, find ways to connect to something bigger than yourself.

5. Live Mindfully: Stay present in the moment and recognise the beauty and meaning in the little things in life.

Let's walk this path of self-discovery together and explore the true potential of our existence. Because as Hall reminds us, we are born for far more than just the shadows of everyday life.

Three habits that enrich your life

🌅 Morning ritual: Immediately after waking up, close your eyes and visualise the best possible version of yourself. Imagine how you immerse yourself in this future version and embrace its characteristics and abilities.

🧘♀ Mindfulness in everyday life: Dedicate the utmost concentration and care to each of your activities. Strive to perform your tasks with excellence and dedication.

🌄 Evening visualisation: Before going to bed, close your eyes again and imagine your ideal future for about 20 seconds. Feel as if you have already realised this vision.

These three habits help you to get closer to your higher self and manifest a positive future. They strengthen your magnetic field and support you in realising your full potential.

Mirrors: windows to a hidden reality?

https://m.primal.net/JsPV.mp4

In a world where we are constantly searching for deeper truths, today we take an unconventional look at something everyday: the mirror. What if these seemingly simple objects are much more than just reflective surfaces?

Mirrors: more than just reflection

Imagine our universe was a giant computer simulation. In this scenario, mirrors would not simply be passive reflectors, but sophisticated screens. They would actively project images from the "source code" of the universe, giving us insights into realities that go far beyond our immediate surroundings.

The pixels of our reality

Quartz crystals, from which mirrors are made, play a key role in this fascinating theory. They act as the pixels of our cosmic screen, storing and displaying information. Each quartz crystal would be a tiny but essential building block of our perceptible reality.

We as avatars in the cosmic game

This is where a fascinating concept comes into play: Higgs bosons as our "player avatars". In this idea, we all carry a kind of cosmic blueprint within us that enables us to move and interact freely in the "simulation".

Our personal cosmic transmitter

Imagine if each of us had a personal radio transmitter - the "Krystal Seed Atom". This mysterious transmitter would constantly send information about our position and actions to the "pixels" of the universe, updating our reality in real time.

Mirrors as portals

In this theory, mirrors are far more than passive surfaces. They become multidimensional windows, magical portals that could provide access to different places and times in our cosmic "data store". A fascinating thought that challenges the boundaries of space and time.

The subconscious as director

Perhaps most intriguing is the idea that our subconscious acts like a cosmic film director. It decides which "scenes" are projected in the mirrors without us consciously controlling it. This idea opens up exciting questions about the nature of our consciousness and our perception of reality.

Final thoughts:

Whilst these ideas are undoubtedly speculative and depart from conventional science, they are thought-provoking. They remind us that reality may be more complex and fascinating than we realise.

The next time we look in the mirror, we might ask ourselves: are we really just seeing our reflection, or are we looking through a window into the deeper mysteries of the universe?

Thanks for the tip. I have just installed Strike and tried it out. Will probably also be my favorite Ligthning Wallet.⚡


We will probably never know who really created it. What is striking, however, is that the inventor or inventors understood the concept of the Akashic Records and translated it into the third dimension in the form of a blockchain.

The wisdom of the ancient Egyptians: a forgotten perspective on money and prosperity.

In our modern world, which is often characterised by materialism and short-term thinking, it's worth taking a look at the past. The ancient Egyptians, known for their architectural marvels and complex mythology, also had a remarkable perspective on money and wealth. Manly P. Hall, a renowned philosopher and author, sheds light on this fascinating perspective in his works.

The roots of banking

According to Hall, the Egyptians not only invented the pyramids, but also the banking system. Money changers played a central role in society and were held in high esteem. Their activity was not just a business, but was guided by religious teachings. This led to a close interweaving of finance and ethics.

Ethics and spirituality in finance

In contrast to our often purely materialistic understanding of money, the Egyptians saw a strong spiritual dimension. Honesty, generosity and fairness were not empty phrases, but cornerstones of financial behaviour. Particularly noteworthy was the emphasis on fairness towards the disadvantaged - a principle that is often neglected in today's financial world.

The afterlife and financial responsibility

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Egyptian view was the idea that money changers were judged after their death in the "Hall of the Great Judgement". Here it was not their bank balance that was scrutinised, but their honesty, charity and service to the community. This idea emphasises the deep connection between financial activity and moral integrity.

Inner wealth and outer success

The Egyptians believed that success, failure, wealth and poverty were ultimately mysteries of the inner life. They saw a direct connection between inner growth and outer prosperity. Money was not simply a means of consumption, but a symbol of productivity and merit, closely linked to art and religion.

Lessons for the present

What can we learn from this ancient wisdom? At a time when financial scandals and short-term profit motives are the order of the day, the Egyptian perspective offers a refreshing alternative. It reminds us that true prosperity is about more than the amount in our bank account. It is about integrity, responsibility and service to the community.

Perhaps it is time for us to rethink our definition of success and prosperity. By re-integrating ethics and spirituality into our understanding of finance, we could not only improve our personal finances, but also contribute to a more just and fulfilling society.

Rudolf Steiner on the "Materialist World Order" and Censorship

"Very shortly, after when one will have written the year 2000, there will come from America not a direct prohibition, but a kind of prohibition against all thinking, a sort of law which will have the aim of suppressing all individual thinking. On the other hand there is the beginning achieved in this direction of suppressing all individual thinking into pure materialistic thinking where one does not need to work upon the soul on the basis of external experiments, in which the human being is handled as if he were a machine."

"For if the world continues in its development as it is strives for in the sense of these materialistic impulses, then we will gradually enter into a development through which not only someone who unlicensed is forbidden from doing anything for human health, but also one in which relating to science, there is a prohibition against anyone saying anything other than that which is approved by those who have taken a kind of vow under the materialist world order.

Today many things are forbidden, of which people do not feel any coercion from prohibition. But we are approaching times when, like any unlicensed concern for healing of human beings, every word will be banned, except in an institution guaranteed and approved by the materialistically developed powers."
